The Disability Discrimination Act (DDA) is a law in the United Kingdom that was enacted in 1995 to protect individuals with disabilities from discrimination. It aims to ensure that people with disabilities have the same rights and opportunities as everyone else, particularly in areas such as employment, education, and access to services. Under the DDA, it is illegal for employers, service providers, and educational institutions to treat individuals with disabilities less favorably. The act also requires reasonable adjustments to be made to accommodate the needs of disabled individuals, promoting inclusivity and equal participation in society.
